While not a "community member" in terms of being into the retro scene, Stewart Cheifet contributed to our hobby in a very significant way. Cheifet is familiar to anyone who has ever watched the Computer Chronicles:
The series aired on PBS (in the USA) from 1984 to 2002, and 460 episodes were with Cheifet as host. (Gary Kildall co-hosted the series from 1984 to 1990, appearing in 178 episodes, passing away in 1994. Gary is best known for having created the CP/M operating system.) Stewart Cheifet passed on December 28th, 2025 at the age of 87.

Loved Computer Chronicles as a kid (early 1980s, with him and Gary Kildall). Didn't understand a lot of it back then but loved it.
